If I run into someone using him, I’ve already accepted the fact that I will be out-rebounded even if I have Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain as my PF/C. Now, even though this is what made him effective in real life, the world of simulation basketball believes that anyone taller than 7 feet is one of the best rebounders of all time (although only averaging 6.4 for his career), and a dunking machine that doesn’t even need to jump to throw down on people like Shaq. Other than the absolute Triple OG Not-To-Be-Messed-With name that this man has, Gheorghe is what we call in the 2K community, “absolute cheese.” Reason being, he’s 7’7”.

It may just be a testament to the user being good at using him to his full potential, but this man will have you throwing controllers if you sleep on him. I’ve personally been a sacrifice to his greatness in a game just recently, getting 18, 6, and 2 blocks dropped on my Throwback Carmelo Anthony in MyTeam.įor some reason, this man just plays in 2K with a chip on his shoulder and out-hustles everyone, hits every open jumper (3 or mid-range) that comes to him, throws down dirty jams if a lane is present, and somehow protects the rim like his middle name was Mutombo. To be fair, Channing Frye averages a respectable, role playing 9.4 PTS, 4.9 REB, and guns from deep at a 38% clip (on-par with shooters like Kyrie Irving) for his career.īut once the ball is tipped and the lights turn on, he may as well be Stephen Curry fused with Kristaps Porzingis. Channing Fryeįor as long as I have been playing NBA 2K, if the player could shoot, they may as well be And you’d think that those same players’ undeserving level of renown would translate into their video game counterparts, however, that isn’t always the case. In the beguiling world of NBA 2K, there are some random players who will give you the absolute work for no apparent reason, and no matter what you do to try to stop them, you will take that L. Some call them hidden gems, others call them cheese.

Let’s start by admitting this, every league has a set group of players that are given too much credit for what they do.
